One of my favorite meals ever is the BBQ Shrimp from a restaurant in New Orleans. Don't let the name fool you: the shrimp isn't grilled with a sweet barbecue sauce; it's simmered in a butter and Worcestershire sauce. This sheet pan version is reminiscent of these classic New Orleans-style shrimp flavors, but made much more quickly. You'll want to have some French bread handy to sop up the extra sauce!

Grandma's Homemade Pizza ala 'Da Boys'
This is a family recipe I got from my aunt and uncle out in California. I'm not sure whose Grandma we're talking about, but everyone loves it! We host football Sundays at our place, and this is a Sunday staple. Some people decide whether or not they are coming based on whether or not I am making my pizza.
